Extend the capabilities of the base System Monitoring shared service by
deploying the System Monitoring for WebSphere® Message Broker service.
Before you begin
You must be assigned the following roles to perform this
procedure:
- Allow delegation when Full permission is selected
- Workload resources administration role with permission to Manage workload resources (Full permission)
- System level, Cloud group administration role with permission to View all cloud resources (Read-only)
- System level, Hardware administration role with permission to View all hardware resources (Read-only)
- Security administration role with permission to View users/groups (Read-only)
Procedure
- Click .
- Expand the Monitoring Services section.
- Click Deploy in the Actions column
of the shared service that you want to deploy. Continue
deploying the shared service. For detailed steps, see Deploying shared services.
- Configure the specific properties for the shared service:
- Auto-start monitoring agent when deployed
- Enable this option to start the monitoring agent for WebSphere Message
Broker automatically when
the message brokers are started.
When you deploy the System Monitoring for WebSphere Message Broker service
and then deploy a pattern with message brokers, a monitoring agent
is installed with each message broker in the pattern. If you enable
this option, the monitoring agent is also started.
When you
deploy a pattern with message brokers and then deploy the System Monitoring for WebSphere Message Broker service,
message brokers in the pattern discover the shared service and a monitoring
agent is installed. If you enable this option, and if the Start
monitoring agent when existing deployments discover Shared Service
for the first time option is enabled, the monitoring agent
is also started.
If you enable this option, and if the Auto-start
monitoring agent on all deployments option is enabled,
when you delete and then redeploy the System Monitoring for WebSphere Message Broker service,
any monitoring agents that are stopped when you redeploy are started.
If
you disable this option when you deploy the System Monitoring for WebSphere Message Broker service,
you can start the monitoring agent later.
- Auto-start monitoring agent on all deployments
- Enable this option to start all monitoring agents that are currently
stopped.
If you enable this option, and if the Auto-start
monitoring agent when deployed option is enabled, the
monitoring agent is started on all deployments in which it is currently
stopped. Use this combined setting to start all monitoring agents
in a cloud group regardless
of whether they were stopped by you or stopped automatically.
If
you enable this option, and if the Auto-start monitoring
agent when deployed option is disabled, only those monitoring
agents that are currently stopped automatically are started. Any monitoring
agents that are currently stopped by you are not started at this time,
but are made ready to start again automatically if you redeploy the System Monitoring for WebSphere Message Broker service
later with the Auto-start monitoring agent when deployed option
enabled.
- Start monitoring agent when existing deployments discover Shared
Service for the first time
- Enable this option to install and start the monitoring agent on
existing deployments that were not configured to monitor WebSphere Message
Broker when they were deployed.
This setting has no effect unless the Auto-start monitoring
agent when deployed option is also enabled.
If you disable
this option, the monitoring agent is installed on existing deployments,
but you must start the agent manually.
- Click OK.
- In the Deploy Virtual Application window,
do the following steps:
- From the Target cloud group list,
select the cloud group to
which you will deploy the virtual application.
- From the Profile list, select
the profile that you want to use.
- Click OK.
Results
An instance of the shared service is created in the selected cloud group.
At this point, the shared service does not have any middleware or
virtual machines associated with it.
